For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Bluetooth headphones were very much useable when we had headphone jacks. Now your only option is overpriced Bluetooth devices that will not last.
Internal storage on your phone is not that big. What they want to do is sell you cloud storage. iPhone 15 Pro, to get 1TB of internal storage is $1500. The cheapest Samsung is 'Galaxy S22 Ultra, 1TB' @ $1600. And the Google Pixel 8, your looking at $1200. Each option basically costs about $500 for that 1TB option. But I could buy a 1.5TB card for $150 on Amazon....
Phone's being thinner is the dumbest marketing point. It's counterproductive to everything you want the phone to have. Like a decent sized battery, proper cooling, and features.... And make it so that the phone isn't flimsy. To say that people no longer needed these features is also just dumb. You know who decided people no longer need these features, someone in Apple's marketing department who realized you could sell $150 headphones instead of giving away quality $20 headphones.
You need to realize that the reason people keep buying new phones isn't because of the new features (which there are none) it's because their phone now sucks because it's aging out because they can't replace anything. Imagine being able to recycle the battery instead of creating just a bunch of e-waste every couple of years.
